Changelog | 1.1.3.13

🆕 New Features

Work Hours System Overhaul

A brand-new system introduces three distinct time states, adding more depth and realism to how you manage your store.

🏪Business Hours

  • Weekdays: 09:00 – 18:00 (excluding lunch break: 12:00 – 13:00)

  • Your store must remain open during these hours

  • Closing your shop will result in fines from law enforcement

  • OKEI deliveries will not be made outside of these hours

  • A sign on the front door displays these hours

  • Not active on weekends

🚫Off Hours

  • Your store must remain closed during these hours

  • Operating during this time will result in fines

  • Applies to all hours outside Business Hours, except:

    • Saturday 09:00 – 13:00

🔓Free Hours

  • You are free to open or close your store with no restrictions

  • By default:

    • Saturday: 09:00 – 13:00

📜24/7 Trade Permit Changes

  • The permit no longer affects the nighttime customer count

  • Now extends Free Hours to 24 hours per day (except Sunday)

  • Allows operation outside standard business hours

  • Sundays remain fully restricted (Off Hours)

👥Customer Behavior Update

  • Regular customers (buyers & sellers) can visit the store at any time

  • Returning Pledgers (customers reclaiming pawned items):

    • Only visit during Business Hours

📜Daily Summary

  • Added a new Daily Summary UI panel to examine the results of a day

  • This panel automatically pops up at the end of each day

Player Stamina

A new stamina system adds immersion and consequences to how you manage your time.

🧍Stamina Levels

  • There are four stamina states:

    • Energized

    • Okay

    • Tired

    • Exhausted

  • How it works:

    • No major penalties in Energized, Okay, or Tired states

    • When Exhausted:

      • The player yawns

      • Vision becomes impaired

    • If stamina is fully depleted:

      • The player will black out

      • You lose consciousness and sleep for several hours

    • During time skip:

      • Stamina drains at half the normal rate

🏠Home Sweet Home

  • Added a player's home located down the street

  • You can sleep to restore stamina

  • Interact with the bed to choose how long to rest

  • Unlike time skip:

    • Your character sleeps and regenerates stamina until the selected time

🔧Improvements

  • Burglary is now disabled while the player is inside the store:

    • Time-skipping inside the store will automatically fail burglary attempts

    • If time is skipped outside, burglary can still occur

    • (Blackouts do not count as a time skip for this rule)

  • Added a short tutorial for older save files:

    • Triggered when interacting with the store’s open/close sign

    • Uncle Barry briefly explains the new work hours system

    • Only appears in existing saves (not new games)

  • Improved the rarity selection system when spawning an item for sellers to bring to the store. Previously, when the system selected a rarity — let's say "legendary" — it would spawn a legendary item and set its condition randomly. This would sometimes result in the legendary item becoming a rare item. From now on, the system will set the condition of the spawned item based on the selected rarity. Thus, when a legendary item is spawned, it won’t be downgraded to a lower rarity

🐛Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that was causing the item specifications UI panel to stay on the screen forever

  • Fixed an issue that was causing buyers to leave their bought items behind if they were interrupted by the player
